Origins: the early days of CERN

François de Rose recalls the first discussions that ultimately led to the birth of CERN.

Quark Model and High Energy Collisions

QCD-motivated, it gives a detailed description of hadron structure and soft interactions in the additive quark model, and is aimed at graduate students and researchers in particle and nuclear physics.

Path Integrals and Quantum Anomalies

A self-contained introduction to the path-integral method in field theory and its applications to quantum anomalies, this book assumes no previous knowledge beyond advanced undergraduate quantum mecha...

Quark-Gluon Plasma 3

This is the third volume in a series on the subject, and the first such monograph to focus on the implications of the experimental results from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider at Brookhaven.

Singular Null Hypersurfaces in General Relativity

This book presents a comprehensive view of the mathematical theory of impulsive light-like signals in general relativity.

Gravity from the ground up

Christine Sutton reviews in 2004 Gravity from the ground up.

Computing at CERN: the mainframe era

Chris Jones takes a look back at the heyday of the computer mainframe through a selection of "memory bytes".

Particles and Nuclei: An Introduction to the Physical Concepts

Now a standard reference for many undergraduate and more advanced courses, this book is a uniform presentation of nuclear and particle physics split into "Analysis" and "Synthesis" sections.

The Theory of Complex Angular Momenta: Gribov Lectures on Theoretical Physics

Published as part of the series of Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics, this is an English translation of the lectures given by Gribov in 1969, when the physics of high-energy hadron interact...
